Observers of President Trump's statements since his re-election recognize his serious commitment to strengthening economic and strategic partnerships with key global partners, particularly Saudi Arabia and GCC nations.

President Trump—who will participate in the Saudi-American Investment Forum—is accompanied by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Treasury Secretary Scott Bescent, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

The forum also features top executives from major U.S. corporations, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, as well as leaders from BlackRock, IBM, Boeing, Delta Airlines, American Airlines, United Airlines, Uber, Coca-Cola, and Google, underscoring the American private sector's keen interest in expanding investments in the Kingdom.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Saudi-American Investment Forum commenced in Riyadh, attended by senior executives and representatives of Saudi and U.S. investment firms.

In his opening remarks, Saudi Investment Minister Khalid Al-Falih emphasized that the 90-year-old partnership between the two nations is built on "mutual respect and shared economic benefits."

President Trump is expected to unveil what he described as a "historic announcement" during his Middle East tour, which began today in Riyadh and will include visits to Qatar and the UAE.
